LOL at the flat plane trigonometry. Let me know when you actually do that experiment so you can demonstrate how you measure your angles. But you never will and never have done this.
Your stupidity actually impresses me in some strange way. I wonder what kind of plane is formed by three points in your imagination that isn't flat.
You: There's no way to measure the distance to the Sun without knowing its size.
Me: You can do it with trigonometry.
You: You didn't show me the math because it's impossible.
Me: Here's the math.
You: You didn't actually perform the experiment because it's impossible.
Goalpost, meet your mover. He's the guy I'm conversing with.
According to the bullshit earth curvature you assuredly believe in, there would be over 652,000 feet or 123 miles of curvature between you and the other observer 1,000 miles away. So tell me again how this would be accurate and while you’re at it go ahead and measure the “angle” of any object in the sky with any accuracy. Oh wait, you can’t, won’t, never have, and never will.

Why are you assuming that the 1,000 miles is measured at the surface and not by a straight line between the two points? Even a high school flunky would know that calculating the legs of a triangle requires, well, a triangle.
